Calhoon Orthopaedic Rehabilitation & Exercise Services

Calhoon Orthopaedic Rehabilitation & Exercise offers comprehensive Occupational Therapy for the tmjshoulder to arm, spine, & the kinetic chain. 

We take a holistic approach in using manual techniques to restore tissue pliability and joint mobility. We also use modalities such as dry needling, fascial manipulation, & cupping to compliment your treatment. We will provide education on your strength, conditioning, and movement retraining in order to restore and achieve optimal motor control in helping you return to function. 

Our emphasis is to provide specialized orthopaedic care in a one-on-one setting, to optimize patients’ well-being through individualized treatment plans. We help people feel, move, and perform better. 

We strive to provide a proper diagnosis through performing a battery of biomechanical tests: AROM, PROM, Manual Muscle Testing, Functional Movement Screens, & Differential Diagnostic Techniques to rule out contributing factors. We will determine if your movement dysfunction or limitation is a local problem, or a more complex problem involving the spine and the kinetic chain. 

Once we have determined the pain generator and causes for your dysfunction, we will strategize a comprehensive treatment plan for you

F.A.Q.

What to expect as a patient

We will obtain basic demographics from you prior to your initial visit and will electronically provide you with an intake link to submit your paperwork online. Please bring a photo ID and all of your insurance cards. 

  • Wear comfortable clothing and shoes.
  • If you are more comfortable, completing your paperwork in person, we ask that you arrive at least 10 to 15 minutes early. 

 

Your Occupational Therapist will spend time learning about your injury, prior level of function, and how your condition is impacting your daily life. 

We then perform specific tests based on your symptoms and how it is impacting your behavior and function. We will evaluate your range of motion, movement patterns, and strength to determine how these findings are contributing to your symptoms. 

Our therapists will explain in detail what your findings mean, what to expect, and how we can design a treatment plan to solve your problem. 

Your initial visit is called an evaluation. Initial evaluations can range anywhere from 45 to 60 minutes. Follow up appointments are typically 40 to 45 minutes, but can be up to one hour, for more complex conditions. 

Treatment – We pride ourselves on one-on-one care. Focused and individualized attention is what you can expect from Calhoon Orthopaedic Rehabilitation. There is no one-size-fits-all treatment approach. 

Your treatment plan will be tailored to meet your specific needs and will be based on your symptoms/condition and how you are responding.  

Licensed Occupational and Physical therapists in the state of Alaska do not require a physician referral. However, we encourage you to check with your insurance company, as they may require a physician referral.
